Lotka-Volterra Model for Predator-Prey Dynamics
The Lotka-Volterra model explores the intricate interactions between predator and prey populations, depicting oscillations in their sizes where the predator's peak lags behind the prey's. This model makes assumptions about exponential prey growth, predator starvation in prey absence, and unlimited p
